The solubilities of pure limonene and linalool in compressed carbon dioxide have been measured using a
flow apparatus at 318.2 K and 328.2 K and pressures ranging from 69 bar to 111 bar. The solubilities
were successfully modeled using equations of state (Peng−Robinson, Soave−Redlich−Kwong, 3P1T, Dohrn
and Prausnitz nopolar) and a semiempirical equation (Chrastill model). The generalized parameters for
the Peng−Robinson EOS were obtained for each system. These parameters were independent of
temperature, and they reproduce successfully all data available in the literature. The results show that
the solubility of limonene in supercritical carbon dioxide was bigger than the solubility of linalool. The
behavior of the systems was discussed by estimation of the best conditions of supercritical extraction.
Those conditions were elevated pressure and a temperature near the critical temperature of carbon dioxide.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
